What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This is just me suggesting giving more body armour to inspectors, it should be at least 50 and not like 25 like agents or operatives, investigators get like 50
at the bare minimum increase it to 50 or make it 75

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I don't think this has ever been suggested before

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
1.inspectors actually can help in code 1's and 2's without issues.
2. inspectors don't get folded like a omelette every time they get into a high risk situation (which they usually do)

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
1. Ci might have a harder time killing inspectors,
2. maybe a little unfair for d classes

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I mean ill get to the point why do inspectors have a player models with heavy armour if all they get is 25 armour doesn't make sense, I get they also have suit models but in general the low amount of body armour really is a general inconvenient thing that can help ISD, even if its just a little bit

ISD are semi-combative job, they shouldn't need more armor and if they do they can go to a armory to get more
No they aren't? Never have been, even as IA. That was a stupid made up concept by people who didnt like the department and wanted an excuse to make sits when things didnt go their way and IA used combative means. IA and ISD were and are both listed as combative departments in the servers rules.

As for this suggestion I dont see an issue with this and takes little effort to set up. +support.

Term was hated, but yes, they were semi-combative.

In terms of the suggestion,

-support. You should only be responding to codes once all non-combatives are safe and when all POIs are manned. Neither of which really need armor. I do get your point, and if you had a limited max armor I'd understand the request for an increase but as it stands I dont see the need
 
The whole idea of the base armour being for balance doesn't make any sense for jobs that can just use an armour. If you can access armouries, not spawning with 100 armour is literally just an inconvenience and doesn't make a difference to anything outside of enemies being pretty much inside your spawn.

Neither does it make sense that they shouldn't need armour because they're just for protecting PoIs and arresting people - if someone's going to attack them, they'd want full armour, regardless of who is doing it. Bullets don't do less damage because they're from your own faction. Other duties like protecting PoIs you'd also definitely want full armour, because you're usually the last line of defence for e.g. an SCP getting into PW and killing all the non-combatives.

+Support
imo all jobs should either spawn with 100 AP or 0AP if they can access armouries - anything in between is just an inconvenience and doesn't actually affect balance. It only makes sense to give 0<AP<100 if the person can't access an armoury, e.g. MC&D, Parawatch, non-combatives, etc. - everyone else can and will access an armoury immediately after spawning, which only wastes time and doesn't help anyone.
 
ISD is currently combative but here’s the thing, isd isn’t the same kind of combative as say SOP which like raids ci and all that.

Regardless of that ISD deals with different things of combat (techie cartels shooting at us) which require us to have more body armor and for some reason content won’t give us an armory. So if you won’t give us an armory atleast give us this as every other combative department isnt like this.

+support
